MM 239 | ”Form” Answers Your Questions on Rifles & Ballistics
About this episode
Mark is joined by "Form" to answer your listener-submitted questions on rifles and ballistics. These questions were submitted in response to our previous conversations with Form. If you have not listened to those episodes (linked below), we highly recommend listening to them first.
In today's Q&A, we discuss...
- What to do if you cannot spot your impacts, even if you aren't shooting a heavy-recoiling magnum rifle?
- What cartridge (and bullet) would Form take on a coastal Brown Bear hunt in Alaska?
- What pistol cartridge and bullet would Form recommend for a sidearm carried for self-defense when hunting in Grizzly Bear country?
- Why (and how) does grain weight matter in a given rifle cartridge; specifically in the context of using a 6.5 Creedmoor to hunt elk?
- Is the wind drift of lighter bullets in smaller calibers not a reason to consider shooting bigger cartridges and heavier bullets?
- Why do bullet and ammunition manufacturers continue to make and market more traditional, controlled-expansion and bonded bullets as 'best for big game' if more fragmenting bullets are more terminally effective?
